HC Deb 16 July 2001 vol 372 cc39-40W
Dr. Starkey

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, pursuant to his answer of 3 July 2001,Official Report, column 88W, on export licences (Israel), what was the nature of the end use restrictions of the two SIELs granted between 1 January and 31 May. [2835]

Nigel Griffiths

Licences for items rated "End-use" do not usually have provisos or restrictions placed on them other than the standard conditions. I can confirm that there were no additional restrictions placed on these two licences. The rating "End Use" covers items that do not normally require an export licence but are subject to control because the exporter has been told or knows or suspects that the items would or might be used in activities connected with weapons of mass destruction or missiles for their delivery. This is a dual-use rating under Council regulation (EC) No. 1334/2000.
